Superhero X Comic Book Heroines: Feminist Film Mashup With The Mary Sue

On Thursday, September 27th, Tor is sponsoring a playful and engaging feminist clip show/film analysis presented by Princess Weekes, Assistant Editor of ! We will be giving away free tote bags with a select #FearlessWoman book at the event.

Princess will take a Black Widow dive into the history of female comic-book/superhero movies and explore the common tropes in these films through a feminist, pop cultural lens as well as why it took so long to get these movies done and done right. She’ll also discuss representation issues.

The show is guaranteed to bring a fresh perspective and a few side splitting laughs while promoting a healthy camaraderie among attendees. To top it off, there will also be a special video message from beloved fantasy author, Victoria “V.E.” Schwab.

First step, binge watch Battlestar Galactica. Second step, read So Say We All for an all-out oral history of the show. Third step, apply all of the subtle life lessons the show had to offer to your everyday life. More info →
